That's the part of restructuring by new management but was is necessary?
what exactly is Nokias task in your eyes? Employ 1800 people that are obivously not really needed or supply cellphones etc?

Job well done.
The review's of Symbian^3 are not exactly glowing, and thats the point. The only thing holding back the n8 from HUGE-MEGA sales is the UI layer of the OS.. the hardware reviews are absolutely glowing!

Even N900 Maemo UI is preferable over Symbian^3..

I personally refuse to use Symbian; my preference. But if announcing that the phone you buy today will get updates tomorrow by Nokia; I'm all for that.

Let's hope that the next MeeGo phone is as upfront about their upgrade path to the non-savvy folks as this announcement seems to be.

I honestly only see good things that can happen from this.

Wow, this is great news for N8 and probably E7 too. Of course there will not be an "upgrade to meego" on n8, that would be silly. doesn't mean there couldn't be a hacked meego installed there. However Symbian 4 should be a very different beast from symbian 3, and this isvery very good news for Nokia. As seen by the stock market reaction

I'm happy Nokia has so many users that are in love with Symbian; however, it comes as a surprise to me. I've used Symbian for roughly 2 years (both S60v3 and v5). Here's my assessment:

It's slow.

Why it sometimes take MINUTES to delete a wireless access point is beyond me.

Anyway, if people like waiting, then give them more of it!

Good to see some love returning to Symbian - a great OS albeit with a clunky and outdated UI.

Just try a Symbian60 with SPB MobileShell to see what Symbian^1 can be: smooth, engaging and a joy to use. All on a tiny, power-efficient processor for great battery life. Feels very contemporary and funky (whatever that means).

Now, can I upgrade my standby phone X6's Symbian^1 to Symbian^3 - or is that taking Nokia's new upgrade path statement too far..?

I dont think so for two reasons

1. X6 uses ARM11 but its much slower than N8's ARM + afaik it doesn't have dedicated GPU

2. Also Symbian ^1 and ^3 are really different from each other no wonder ^2 was released only internally

not at all, the announcement was about getting a rid of number 3 or 4 right after the text "symbian^".

so your x6 would have to get s^3 first before it could get into the update train....
